THREATEN CONFLICT.
Balkan Disputants Stand Stubbornly
By Their Guns.?War Is Imminent
Say Experts.
London, June 9.?With both sides
stubborn in refusing to- make the
slightest concession, war between the
Balkan States is hourly becomingj
more immin-ent. If Bulgaria sends
a negative reply to the Servian noae
?and nothing indicates that she will
answer otherwise?Pervia and Greece 1
will proclaim the annexation -of the !
occupied Macedonian territories,
thereby establising a definite casus
belli.
The only hopeful feature of the
situation consists in the belief that
Bulgaria is lacking the sinews of war.
Servia and Greece are not only better
situated in this respect, but also
An/in WT' Am* AO 1 nAfi'h'nnc
SUpCHUl Oil' ICgKai pu^IviUiiO.
These facts probably account for the
calmness with which Servia apparently
regards the prospects of war.
The final session of the peace conference
was held today at St. James'
palace and ended without anything
being decided as to 'the exchange of
prisoners or other matters. The delegates
agreed to i^ave outstanding
questions to their respective governments.
Each of the Balkan delegations advised
its government to conclude a i
separate convention with Turkey.
The Montenegerin delegate who presided
at today's session delivered a
speech of farewoll.
Had the peace conference . lasted
longer there would have been few
delegates to attend it, as Dr. S. Dan- !
eff, representing Bulgaria, left some 1
days ago and the two principal Ser- j
vian delegates were hastily recalled
to Belgrade yesterday.
SEEKS PliESIDEXTAL AID.
Governor Blease Asks Government to
Hel]> Him Enforce Liquor
Laws.
I
Columbia, June 9.?In a letter to ;
President Woodrow Wilson, of the I
United Stae:s, today Governor Blease '
pleads with him to instruct the revenue
commission not to issue any
more internal revenue licenses in
South Carolina to retail liquor deal- >
ers, declaring that such a course;
would assist him greatly in enforcing
the liquor laws. If there is no ;
authority at present to refuse to issue
such licenses the governor asks the
president to send a special message
to congress urging the enactment of
such a law.
"Tne united states government can
be a great moral and legal force in j
helping to enforce the liquor laws in
this State, instead of, as at present, j
countenancing their violation," says
the governor in his letter. \ He says j
s that when he gets to the senate he
will introduce such a bill. His letter
in full follows:
"Columbia. S. C.. June 9. 1913.
"His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States, Washington,
D. C?Dear Sir: I have positive
information that there are now in
this State several parities holding licenses
from the United States government
as retail liquor dealers, and I
am informed that these licenses will
expire on the 30th of this month. As
you know, South- Caxolina has a statute
which prohibits the sale of whiskey,
wine or beer, except in eight
counties, in which whiskey is sold by
the county dispensaries, and any per- j
son. firm or norncration engaging in I
the sale of any whiskey, wine, beer
malt or vinous liquors, save the legally
authorized dispensaries in these 8
counties, is guilty of a misdemeaner.
Still, the United States government
has been and is yet continuously licensing
people other than dispensers j
*? xl- ? i c v-\r\r>
Ill lilt? CUUUUCS vyj-injii narc uiopcuearies,
and people within the counties
which have legal prohibition, to
violate the law of ttis State by becoming
retail- liquor dealers.
"It does seem 'to me that you could
be of great assistance to me in tho
enforcement of tho liquor laws of this .
State if you would -truct your Uni-j
ted it~- cer of internal
revmue r I io gran'; license to any
person, firm or corporation in this
State, except the licenses necessarj
for the legal dispensers, to engage ii
the business of retail or wholesale Iiquor
dealer, and by instructing youi
T*7iifpH Qtatpc mnrchfllc tn cpp that an^
person, firm or coiporation selling
whiskey, wine or beer in violation oi
law shall be tried and punished by the
United States court.
"If, after investigation by your attorney
general, it should be found
that there is any provision of law requiring
the issuance of licenses, to
people giving them the right, so far
as the federal government is concerned,
to violate the Staite law, then
I would suggest that you could be ol
great assistance if, in a special message
to congress you would urg<
the passage of a law remedying this
defect to which I have caii'i your attention.
"Of course under no condition oi
circumstances, would I put myself ii
the position of suggesting that
might want to dictate to your excel
Iptipv or pvpti to sn^eest to von any
thing that would be unpleasant, bu
iii does seem to me, as a private citi
zen of the United States of America
and as governor of -lie greatest Stat
in the American Union, that it is in
I
consistent for the United States go\
ernment >to license people to violat

States government is concerned, saj1

! censes the federal government grant
: are only to sell under the federal laws
but, at the same time, the holder
of these licenses, when they appl
ifor them, give notice that they in

Therefore it certainly seems to m
.that the United Stages officials ougt
:to say 'Xo, your State law prohibit
j the sale by you of thftse goods and w
! do not nroDose to make ourselve
parties sto your violation of the S:atB
jlaw by guaranteeing you immunitS
from prosecution in our courts if yoH
do violate the State law.' In otheB
[Words, the United States governmerj|
certainly can be of great moral anaH
legal force in helping to enforce thlfl
liquor laws in this State, instead ofl
as at present, countenancing theiB
violation.
"There are a great, many sociaB
clubs in this State today?so-c&lleH
social clubs?which I am satisfieB
would not dare attempt to violate thjl
State law without a Federal revenuB
license for the sale of whiskey.
"I hope that I have not made thiH
letter too l.:ngthv, and that I havB
made myself clear. When I get <tH
the United Stares senate, if some ac|
tion has not been taken before thaH
time, I shall introduce a bill alonH
this line, but I do not conceive that
is necessary -to w?"'t a year and I
half or two years for the governmei?

Constantinople, June 11.?Mahmoud
Schefkeit Pasha, the Turkish gracd
vizier and minister or war, was snoi j

But there was a little withered
man to whom poets, painters, everybody
bowed down, relates the Pittsburg
Post.
"What has this man done?" asked
the traveler.
"He has accumulated 3,000,000 cocoanut

Mermaids and Manatees.
In semitropical waters of America
there disports a member of that fami- ;
ly of aquatic mammals, in which has
been ascribed the mermaid myth. Related
to the dugong and now extinct
rhytina, we still have the manatee. '
The name is preferred by some to !
manatee under the impression that the
latter is the plural of the Latin 1
"manatus" (furnished with hands,;
thoagh the name is probably of
Mandingo origin.
The manatee is a herbivorous mammal
inhabiting the shallows about the
coasts of Florida, Mexico, Central
America and the West Indies. It is not
known to attempt the open sea and
does not possess th2 ability to come
ashore. This animal is somewhat j
v,-hale-like in shape, wi^h a horizontal
tail fin. It is from eight to twelve feet [
in length, the body being scantily cov
ered with hair. The only limbs are
the fore flippers, low on the side of the body.
This flipper has no fingers; it {
does possesses, though, three flat nails
and has a free motion in all directions j
from the shoulder; the elbow and j
wrist approximate the human anatomy |
:.n movement. With this crude resem- j olance
to an arm the manatee has been ! i
said to carry its-young. "While the ;
statement is not authentic, it is quite ; i
believable, its possibility being vouch- 't
ed for by all observers of the arm in j t
I :
motion. i j
l
The head of the manatee is divided i t

One That Should Be Heeded By Jiewberry

Frequently the first sign of kidney
trouble is a slight ache or pain in the
loins. Neglect of this warning makes
the way easy fcr more serious troubles

'Tis well to Day attention to the first
sign. Weak kidneys generally grow fl
weaker and delay is often dangerous.
Residents of this locality place r*

mended all over the civilized world. I
